Who here is not in the "clique" like me?

[yearbook50]

Same here! I wish I was a little more outgoing. And I can't tell a joke to save my life!!!

Oh I'm the same way. I joke very sarcastically or very oddly. Sometimes people think I'm being mean when I'm really just joking.

For the most part, I am more of an observer. I usually just sit back and observe.

I am generally pretty laid back and quiet. I tend to have to get to know people and their likes and dislikes before I unleash my "real" personality on them.

Then, they realize how fun I really am. But I save my real personality for only the best. That's why I am here.

Someone here on the CB got their knickers in a knot the other night because they did not understand my humor. I am rather attached to my humor. I think I will keep it.

I am the exact same way! I really don't mean to be mean, but it just comes off that way.

Good morning, (or is it afternoon?) all!!!

Welcome to all the newcomers!!! How is everybody today??

As for cliques in the workplace- I don't work, so fortunately I don't have to deal with that problem...But from what I've seen, sometimes adults with cliques can be much much worse than the kids in school!! They can be more nasty, gossip more, etc. I'm glad I don't have to deal with either!! I have had to deal with cliques in CHURCH- that is the worst.

- I have one for you!- What about cliques in the family?? My family has them- unfortunately- Ofcourse, it is unspoken and if I say one word, watch out!! Sometimes, I'm glad I moved so far away (I am from Florida and just recently moved to Virginia,) but I still miss them!


I hope everybody is enjoying their day!

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

My family has no cliques, thankfully. We're a small family.

Thanks for honoring us with your presence.

Oh, the pleasure is all yours.....er......mine.

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

none in the family - we are too small as well. I haven't worked for some time, so don't deal with that...now here in our neighborhood: everyone acts like they get along (I understand that), but then gossip about each other the minute one of their backs is turned. There seem to be some cliques, but there is even gossiping about clique members . I don't mind the guess who is getting a pool or so and so is in Florida this week..but I hate gossip....doesn't make me want to get my shy butt out there!!! I know if they are doing it to each other...then everyone is fair game. So, when I do venture out, I stick to the weather, local events, ...safe stuff.....

another reason I am ...proud to be cliqueless!!!!!

My family is the worst. They gossip about one another. It's so bad that when I was younger I refused to leave the room because if I did they would start talking about. I can't stand it, so I just don't see them (this is the women on my mom's side. The rest of the family is pretty OK).

Good Morning/almost afternoon to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's funny as I am reading to catch up with this thread (wow, btw), I am laughing to myself because I can relate to so many of you. I, too, am the quiet one who sits back and takes it all in, sometimes being perceived as a bit......well, you know, and I am not that girl puppy at all (well, most of the time--come on, admit it--we can all be at times, right?? ).

Moving on, I am also the one who, once I get to know people, really open up. Some people get my extremely dry sense of humor, some don't. Oh well, I still crack myself up sometimes.

When I was younger it used to really bother me what people thought but now I just chalk it up to everyone is different; different personalities, different beliefs, different on and on and ons.........you get my point. Diversity........makes the world go round. Do I still worry what people think? Just a bit, but not as much. I have grown into myself and I figure if some people do not like it, oh well, they choose not to, just as I choose not to be involved with some people.

Oh my goodness, when did I (lil ol me) find a soapbox?? Totally not like me. Imagine that.





My point to all of this----------be yourself and you will migrate to people with similarities and they to you.

Everyone have a good day!!!!!!!!!




Now, I must go and edit because I, a-parently, have become a phonetic speller. Lovely.

Amber,

I feel your pain.

There is 1 cousin in my family who meanly gossiped about me, and made up lies about me for her own gain. I have cut her out of my life, and everybody who chose to listen to her without asking me first. When I was younger, it was a HUGE deal because I kind of refused to go anywhere where she was (it was immature, but the situation was really nasty) and my family just accepted that I don't want that in my life. I actually went through a very nasty depression because of it, and I'm glad I made a smart decision for myself. I don't want that nastiness around me!!

 

[need_a_Disney_fix]

2xcited...you are me! I am VERY shy but when I feel comfortable, I have the dryest sense of humor and I ooze with sarcasm. Sometimes I crack myself up at which point I laugh out loud. Yes, people look at me, but I am happy in my own little world.

I really admire you for having this outlook! I need to learn this lesson- it doesn't matter what people think of me!!

Thanks for putting it into perspective.

Comes with age, sweety, comes with age.

Oh my, I am not that old, just an old soul, I suppose.
